HDM-FUN Host directed medicine in invasive fungal infection

Coordinator: STICHTING RADBOUD UNIVERSITAIR MEDISCH CENTRUM (NL)

Despite novel treatment options and development of diagnostic tools invasive fungal infections (IFI) are still associated with an unacceptably high mortality and morbidity. Experts believe that a host directed approach is needed to overcome this problem. HDM-FUN proposes a transdisciplinary approach to identify host-pathogen factors (HPFs) needed for host directed medical interventions in IFI and will be the first of its kind. The overall concept is to identify host-pathogen factors in the setting of immunotherapy and prophylaxis that will allow the design for tailored novel therapeutic and p…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €10.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6.5 years from 2020-01-01 to 2026-06-30.
